Regional law firm Tilleke & Gibbins has appointed Chanakarn Boonyasith as a partner at its Bangkok office, strengthening its employment practice and enhancing the capabilities of its corporate and M&A group.
Boonyasith joins from SCL Nishimura & Asahi, where she served as a partner for more than five years.
She brings extensive experience advising multinational and domestic clients on Thai labour and employment law, personal data protection, and corporate and commercial matters.
Her focus revolves around workforce restructuring, complex terminations, employment compliance, workplace investigations, and cross-border employment issues across a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, financial services, hospitality, transportation, retail, education and renewable energy. Additionally, Boonyasith specialises in data protection and commercial transactions.
“This appointment is part of our broader ongoing growth strategy as we continue to invest in key practice areas to meet our clients’ evolving needs. In particular, we are seeing increasing demand for sophisticated employment law advice as businesses navigate more complex and cross-border workforce issues across Southeast Asia,” Tilleke & Gibbins managing partner Tiziana Sucharitkul told Asia Business Law Journal.
“Strengthening our team in this area ensures we are well positioned to deliver integrated, commercially focused solutions, and we will continue to assess opportunities for further expansion in line with client demand.”
